Charlton Greenwood Ogburn (19 August 1882 in Butler, Georgia – 26 February 1962) was a lawyer who served as a public official in various capacities from 1917 through to the 1930s.

His most notable writings were essays on the relationship between the law and public policy, Government and Labor and The Lawyer and Democracy (1915).

Between 1949 and 1952 he served on the Counsel of the American Bar Association's Interprofessional Commission on Marriage and Divorce Laws.

[3] In 1938 Ogburn supported William Green's attempts to maintain the unity of the AFL and resist the breakaway Committee of Industrial Organizations (COI) union.

[5] After representing Barrell in the case against Dawson, Ogburn and his wife Dorothy both became very involved in the organizations devoted to Oxfordian theory and the Shakespearean authorship question.

The books also advocate the Prince Tudor theory, the belief that Oxford had a son with Queen Elizabeth I.
